Hey folks,

Andrea Vance's book "Blue Blood" has just been released and at time of recording Dave had read some of it. It's a humdinger whodunnit political true crime murder mystery, says I attempting to explain the pun on Cluedo in the title.

Also; more on the assassin of Shinzo Abe. The politics of human damage. Funeral for a computer. Catastrophes and the economic order. Breakfast. And our leaders' international conduct with both Ardern and Luxon talking it up large overseas.
